My role as a counselor is to help you feel empowered. Together, we focus awareness on the things that aren't working in your life, so that you can decide what you want to change and what you don't. Therapy is a process that combines curiosity, exploration, and problem solving to create awareness for desired change. That change might come in the form of reduced anxiety and stress, mourning the loss of a loved one, or coping with disappointing relationships. My job is to give you tools to fill your toolbox, so that you have the resources necessary to manage life. My style of therapy is direct and engaging. I also use gentle humor when appropriate. I rely on a variety of professional techniques, including evidence–based therapies like EMDR, and CBT. Together, we will choose an approach that fits your needs,and builds inner resources.
